As someone who has a substantial body of work on image-based abuse (commonly misnamed "revenge p*rn"), my attention was recently directed to a new guide about the steps to take when someone posts images without consent.

I have many questions but here are 3 for starters:
1. Why is the cover an illustration of a cat spanking another cat? (Conversely, where is the BDSM guide?)

2. If you need to force-fit cat pictures to push your stuff, do you really have any steam?

3. It is clear from reading+

+the guide that the writer has never actually supported a victim-survivor of image-based abuse. I can tell because I have supported victims over more than a decade.

Why write it without having any real-world experience or credentials? This is a disservice to victim-survivors and those who support them.

Bonus question: Why does this sh*t get funded when I get rejections because of "many, competing high-quality applications?"
